The First OF the prummers.

Daniel r. Wolff. of Chambersburg,
says he is the first commercial trayelel
who ever went on the road. In 1874
he went to Philadelphia as a salesman
for a dry-goods house. TRADE was
dull that year, says Mr.. Wolff, land
l suggested TO the firm the idea Of
sending nj among the coun'
try merchants to drum up trade"
"'Who will be the drummer asked
one of the firm.

me out That was the origin Of the
term drummer by which all travel.

on the road and solicited trade
among the merchants of southern and
central Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
For five years | carried no samples,
filling my customers orders from
samples provided by themselves. In
1849 il struck me all of a sudden that
this was necessarily keeping my trade
limited, and that if / carried a line OF
samples of my own l could introduce
new goods and more of them. / sent
to the firm and showed them that the
samples were coming from the wrong
end of the line, and they saw the point
and furnished me with samples. From
that year dates the custom of carrying
samples by drummers.

the road ever since his pioneer trip

of teams in front of the theater for a
moment, and when the way was cleared
again the horse would not bulge. His
driver told him to go on, but he didn't
move. The other man got out and
tried to lead him, but he was as inn
movable as though his legs had been
driven into the ground. The driver
began to lose his temper and took up
the whip, when a horsey-lookiag man
came from the rear of the theater, and
taking in the situation at a glance
said:
Hold on a minute; I'll start you"
He went to the rear of the buggy and
pushed it steadily against the horse.
